A former Baptist minister, Price is a religious skeptic, especially of orthodox Christian beliefs, occasionally describing himself as a Christian atheist. Price is also a writer, editor, and critic in the field of speculative fiction. He has written about the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared universe created by the writer H. P. Lovecraft. Price was appointed executor of Lin Carter’s literary estate. He co-wrote a book on the rock band Rush with his wife, Carol Selby Price, Mystic Rhythms: The Philosophical Vision of Rush (1999).

In The Human Bible, Robert M. Price deconstructs and demystifies this foundational book, all from a rational, secular, and non-ideological perspective—and all with a good dose of humor. For fans of history, religious studies, or literature—or of charismatic professorial types—The Human Bible is a trove of entertainment and enlightenment.

At its core, The Lovecraft Geek is a deep-dive exploration of Lovecraft’s fiction and the Cthulhu Mythos—not just summaries, but analysis, commentary, and sometimes dramatic readings.

Price brings a scholarly yet fan-driven approach, blending literary criticism, pulp history, and philosophical reflection on cosmic horror.
